. Evolution of Primate Intelligence Discuss the changes which occurred in intelligence through primate evolution. Intelligence is correlated with brain size, gestation period (amount of time the fetus is in the womb), social organization, and mating pa
Introduction and Thesis Statement (15 points): Creatively employ the material in your category into your introduction. Next, pick a thesis statement. The thesis is what you are going to argue. Example: For paper choice D, you could argue that primates developed improved vision due to natural selection pressures and an arboreal past. The Body of the Paper (40 points): The body should be a representation of your data. You will be discussing your subject objectively through the grades of primate evolution while pointing out the modifications which occurred through time.[unique_solution] The grades of primate evolution are as follows: Grade I-The Lemuroids; Grade II-The Tarsiers; Grade III -The Monkeys; and Grade IV-The Apes and Man (see chart in prior post). You should plan on devoting approximately 1 to 2 pages of discussion to each of the grades in primate evolution. Make sure you carry your discussion through to man. With each grade, begin by describing some general background and introductory information on that category of primate. Next, devote the remaining discussion of each grade to your specific research subject. Remember to avoid plagiarism and to document where you obtained your data by using paraphrasing (MLA, APA or AAA styles only) throughout your paper. Up to 20 points will be deducted if there is no documentation and partial point deduction for incorrect or insufficient documentation. After you have discussed the changes that have occurred through the grades of primate evolution, include a paragraph toward the end of the body of your paper with your subjective perspective (personal opinion) on the subject material. This discussion should also include a critique of the literature and zoo trip. Comment on the information you could or could not find. How did you feel about the zoo trip? Were you able to better visualize the primates you learned about? Conclusion (15 points or 15% of project) Your conclusion should relate back to your thesis statement. Work the thesis into your conclusion stated differently. Also make a final statement, e.g. in this paper I have proven conclusively, or was not able to demonstrate conclusively that my thesis was correct. Works Cited Page (10 points or 10% of project) The works cited page should be on a separate page. Entries should be single spaced with double spacing between them. Entries should be listed last name first, first name last in alphabetical order. If you are using a citation from a web site and no authors name is given, simply list by title. I am expecting at least four professional sources to be listed and utilized beyond the textbook. Please only use professional sources for this project. Wikipedia, Reader’s Digest and religious publications are unacceptable for this assignment! One of the single best sources to use for this project is:
